My Little Me
Little girl, I’ve been disconnected from you,
I see you as a tiny lump alone on the floor,
For most of my years, I’ve been numb to you,
Basically, something I simply abhor.Little girl, I’ve been disgusted by you,
Nothing but derision when you cry,
Suck it up buttercup, don’t show a weakness,
Tears are used to make you comply.Little girl, I hate your aching heart,
From the crushing silence of loneliness.
For you, comfort is a taboo,
Forever just you, yourself, and hopelessness.Little girl, I’m angry you didn’t know,
Not being taught was not an excuse.
You should have put it together sooner,
All the pieces were there to see the abuse.Little girl, I’ve been so scared of you,
I’ve been threatened by your vulnerability,
I see you so different from the rest,
Demanding maturity, not fragilityLittle girl, I’ve refused to accept you,
Denying the truth of your innocence.
Turning away from your tears and pain,
Rejecting your pleas of forgiveness.Little girl, today I want to be brave
I’m ready to take a look in your eyes.
Lost and full of pain, and fear,
Seeing you tremble and hearing your cries.No words are needed as I scoop her up,
Her tiny arms and mine wrapped up tight.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
Darkness slowly turns into light.Sweet little girl, you’re not alone anymore,
I’m here and I love you, I’ll never leave you.
You’re going to be ok now sweet little girl
I forgive you, and I forgive me too.Voting starts September 27, 2024 12:00am

One of the things I have learned in therapy is that everybody retains an imprint of their childhood self and it affects how we perceive the world. I, like you, spent so long berating and hating that child because I was in pain. And I, like you, learned in order to love ourselves we must forgive ourselves and our childhood selves. I wish you all…read more
